The list of those who invested with alleged fraudster Bernard Madoff is no longer a mystery.

The list was included in a filing made Feb. 4 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York by the Texas firm charged with helping come up with a catalog of those who had investments with Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, which allegedly perpetrated a Ponzi scheme that could top $50 billion.

The list spans 162 pages, each of which contains 84 lines listing individuals or companies and their addresses. Of the 7,000 alleged victims, 210 list their addresses as Maryland, D.C. or Virginia.

The list includes prominent Washington-area property owners and developers such as Vornado/Charles E. Smith Realty and Albert H. Small. Rosenthal Automotive also made the list.

Real estate investment partnerships that include Albert H. Small, Robert H. Smith, Robert P. Kogod and Bernard, Steven and Michael Gewirz are also on the list.

Charles E. Smith appears to have solely a management role in the properties. A Vornado/Charles E. Smith spokesperson said: "Vornado has no investments and no relationships with Mr. Madoff."

Others on the list include: Jacqueline Desbois, a former vice president of private banking with Chevy Chase Bank; and two related high-net financial advisers in Rockville, Convergent Wealth Advisors and Fortigent Co.

The list also includes Daniel and Sunita Leeds, D.C. residents who started the Enfranchisement Foundation to aid charities that focus on anti-poverty and women's issues. Daniel Leeds, an early-stage investor, was the son of CMP Media founders Gerry and Lilo Leeds.

Correction

An earlier version of this story misidentified Cambridge Associates of Arlington as a money manager on the list of clients of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC. Cambridge Associates is not a money manager and was not a client of Bernard Madoff. It also listed Jacqueline Desbois as a money manager currently employed with Chevy Chase Bank. She is a former employee and had no money management responsibilities.
